Farmers are, in general, not out there a/b testing concentrations of herbicides or pesticides in their fields to find the exactly optimal level. If they're anything like most of the farmers I've met--who are absolutely really smart, well-intentioned folks--they talk to the guy at the extension office or weed control office and that guy tells them what to mix and how to apply. If it works, the farmer is generally happy. If not, he'll complain. The definition of "works" is: the immediate problem is solved. So the extension office guy, who usually seems to be indirectly funded by Dow Chemical in some way, or just by chance seems to really love that concern's range of products, is motivated to maybe overshoot a little. On my farm, we're doing things a little bit, uh, differently. Our food is expensive, but it's helping heal our soil and provides actual nutrition. https://mulligan.farm https://mulligan.farm.
